Manufacturing / grifería

Spanish term or phrase: Asta de accionamiento - asta de regulación

Context: It's a company that manufactures sanitary ware. There is a drawing of a tap and its various parts - above ceramic discs and below the handle there is a part called "asta de accionamiento".

In another segment, again about taps, there is another drawing: tapón - difusor - muelle - válvula y termostato - cuerpo cartucho - latón y filtros acero - asta de regulación.

Similarly, "adjusting rod" gets 139,000 results and "adjusting bar" 58,500 results... which should give you something to go on.

pop-up drain lever

Explanation:
Not much context, so depends what this lever does really: if it's a domestic tap, it presumably lifts the drain plug. Or you might find something here http://www.naturalhandyman.com/iip/infplumb/infpopup.html
